My life took an unexpected turn awhile ago (~2004)...into a dojo! I took my son to karate and found that I didn't much like being a spectator. I started at age 46. By 50, I was wearing a black belt. At 52, I added a 2nd stripe. The blog was started to help me learn my kata. On my 55th birthday, due to hip problems, I sadly quit the martial arts. I continue to look for sports outlets and wrestle with food, fitness, and health.

To maintain muscle tone, relaxed quickness, and to calm the nerves, juggling has been show to be superior to both yoga and transcendental meditation! Ok, I did make that up but I still believe it.

Here's me, coming out of retirement, and trying to revive the old "eat an apple while juggling routine."

For those of you who want to know what happened. it turns out that I had forgotten to swallow so I started to choke. Once I realized what was happening, I remembered that I use to have ghis same problem back in the 70s when I use to perform this trick. Here I am, 40 years older, and I'm still forgetting to chew and swallow. Cracked me up! Practically make me choke to death.

Here's me son trying to do his first ever "apple-while-juggling". I'm sure he'll master it soon.
